A compound needle (1) is provided with a slider (8) having two slider springs (11, 12), whose ends constitute an open funnel pointing toward the hook (3). The ends, or legs (21, 22), constituting the funnel, are flattened. Therefore, starting at a starting point, the thickness of the material is reduced in the tapered area (29) toward the ends of the slider springs (11, 12). By means of this a correct functioning of the compound needle is also provided if the slider (8) is not completely centered. Moreover, it is possible to improve the easy movement of the slider (8) in the slider slit in that the funnel, formed by the legs (21, 22), can be embodied to be narrower at a constant width, than without the taper of the slider springs (11, 12).
